| description |
Private sector firms in Myanmar have
reported spectacular sales growth since the onset of a
series of government-initiated policy reforms in 2011. A 24
percent real annual sales growth rate puts Myanmar in the
fastest growing private sectors as measured by Enterprise
Surveys (ES). The employment growth rate is positive but
lower than the average of the economies in East Asia and
Pacific (EAP). Importantly, this remarkable sales growth
took place despite great hurdles (see below), which is
suggestive of continued growth that could be unlocked by
further reforms. As Myanmar continues to open up to foreign
investment, this growth will likely continue. |
